Jazz Mass Choir

Jazz Mass Choir The Official page of Jazz Mass Choir In the 1960s, the Cursillo Movement gained significant popularity in the Philippines. Initially hesitant, Fr.

Originally focused on senior members of the community, it later expanded to include younger generations, leading to the formation of the JR CURSILLITAS. Among its pioneer members was Rey Layosa, who was chosen as the moderator. In 1968, the youth movement initiated a project with two primary objectives:

1. To bring the Mass closer to the people through music.
2. To encourage youth to engage in re

ligious activities rather than spending their time on drugs. During this time, the Church predominantly utilized Gregorian Chant accompaniment in all Masses. The group sought to introduce a new form of instrumentation, believing it would be more appealing, especially to the youth. They chose the guitar, ultimately leading to the creation of the Guitar Mass, later known as the Jazz Mass. The musically inclined members gathered and approached Fr. Louis Thys, the local parish priest, to discuss the possibility of introducing this new concept of accompaniment in one of the four Sunday masses. Thys expressed concern that conservative members, particularly the elders, might not be ready for such a change. After deliberation, it was agreed to conduct a trial run on three consecutive Saturdays, with plans to discontinue if met with significant protests or complaints. Through what was perceived as divine intervention, the Mass was overwhelmingly received and embraced by the parish community. As a result, the priests approved and permanently assigned Saturdays exclusively for the Jazz Mass. Now, after over 50 years of existence, the group remains remarkably strong, thanks to the dedication of leaders who took over after the founders' departure in 1974.

Called by name, chosen by grace. โœจ

Happy 58th Anniversary to the Jazz Mass Choir and 80th Anniversary to the St. Paul College of Paraรฑaque!

In our sinfulness, we often wonder why God chooses us to be His laborers. But as Archbishop Soc Villegas wisely said, instead of asking who we are, we are invited to ask, โ€œTo whom do we belong?โ€

From the choir loft, looking down at our community gathering for the Eucharist is a sight that fills our hearts with so much gratitude. We are so blessed to be your musical bridge from the Word to the Bread.

Blessed Solemnity of Corpus Christi from our choir family to yours!

When voices unite in worship,
music speaks straight to the spirit. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธโœจ

Deeply moved after reading Sir Nikkoโ€™s Kaluluwa ni Kristo, experiencing this masterclass felt less like learning technique and more like an act of collective prayer. The song itself becomes a sanctuary, bringing us directly into that sacred space where the Lord awaits. Grateful for the chance to learn and sing with others and to JAZZ do it for God!

Thank you, Sir Nikko, for guiding such a soulful experience.

The song โ€œKaluluwa ni Kristoโ€ is part of the Mass of San Lorenzo Ruiz. Thru the help of JMC patrons, we were able to purchase books for each choir that participated in this masterclass, so now they can also learn and sing the song during their masses

Breathe on me, Breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love the way you love,
and do what you would do.

Breathe on me, Breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until my will is one with yours,
to do and to endure.

Breathe on me, Breath of God,
so shall I never die,
but live with you the perfect life
for all eternity.
